Honoring the widely respected folkie, who died at 84
That’s a raging injustice when you listen back to gems like “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Carefree Highway,” and “Early Morning Rain.” These songs earned him a sterling reputation as a songwriter’s songwriter, which you can see when you check the list of people who covered them: Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and countless others. Or you can take it from Dylan himself, who famously remarked, “I can’t think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don’t like.
He merged it with “Did She Mention My Name?” on that release, completely transforming the song by revealing the loneliness that comes when you close your mind to love and human connection.“Early Morning Rain,” a briskly strummed meditation on longing and losing, is both one of Lightfoot’s first compositions and one of his most influential. He sings about his lover leaving him on a plane while he stays grounded and drunk.
